Representing College Students throughout Nebraska

As a college student, you have an entire lifetime of possibilities ahead
of you. When an allegation of sexual assault or date rape threatens your
future, the results can be devastating. At McGoughLaw P.C. L.L.O., we
help young adults fight charges of sex crimes at Nebraska's colleges and
universities. Many of our clients have been falsely accused – and
we are prepared to stand up for them.

said/she said narratives. Because drugs and alcohol are frequently involved,

alleged victims and criminal defendants. At McGoughLaw P.C. L.L.O., we
have the experience to investigate the claims against you and build a
compelling defense to secure a favorable outcome for you.
